Constraints on supersymmetry from FCNC and CP violation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider FCNC and CP violating processes mediated by gluino exchange in generalized supersymmetric theories. We present the constraints on flavour (F) changing squark mass terms at the electroweak energy scale, focusing our analysis on ∆F = 2 transitions. Results are also given for ∆F = 1 CP conserving processes both in the hadronic and leptonic sectors, while we limit ourselves to some remarks on the relevance of box diagrams in the evaluation of ǫ/ǫ.

How to Define the Minimal Supersymmetric Aspon Model
The aspon model provides an alternative to the KM mechanism for CP violation with the advantage that the strong CP problem is solved. We consider the incorporation of low-energy supersymmetry and find the constraints on alignment and squark degeneracy. The conclusion is that although the θ̄ constraints are much less severe than in other generic schemes with supersymmetry breaking and spontaneous...
متن کاملTwo Lectures on FCNC and CP Violation in Supersymmetry ∗
These two lectures constitute a reappraisal and an update of the status of the Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) and CP violation issues in supersymmetry. The first lecture discusses these points in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), while the second one provides an analysis in a generic low-energy supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. The goal of...
متن کاملSome Phenomenological Implications of String Loop Effects
We investigate low energy implications of string loop corrections to supergravity couplings which break a possible flavor universality of the tree level. If Supersymmetry is broken by the dilaton F -term, universal soft scalar masses arise at the leading order but string loop corrections generically induce flavor-nondiagonal soft terms. Constraints from flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) a...
متن کاملResummed Effective Lagrangian for Higgs-Mediated FCNC Interactions in the CP-Violating MSSM
We derive the general resummed effective Lagrangian for Higgs-mediated flavour-changing neutralcurrent (FCNC) interactions in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), without resorting to particular assumptions that rely on the squark-mass or the quark-Yukawa structure of the theory. In our derivation we also include the possibility of explicit CP violation through the Cabibbo–Kobayash...
متن کاملB Physics and Supersymmetry
Flavour changing neutral currents (FCNC) and CP-violating processes are very sensitive probes of new physics. The GIM suppression of FCNC amplitudes is generally absent beyond the Standard Model (SM), giving possibly large enhancements of FCNC processes over the SM predictions. Furthermore, CP violation in weak decays in the SM is entirely governed by a single phase in the CKM matrix, resulting...
